THE 27 CLUB

The "club" has been repeatedly cited in music
magazines, journals and the daily press. Several exhibitions have
devoted to the Club of 27; distributed merchandising products, novels,
films and stage plays captured this topic.There have been many
different theories and speculations about the causes of such early
deaths and their possible connections. Cobain and Hendrix biographer
Charles R. Cross writes "The number of musicians who died at 27 is truly
remarkable by any standard. [Although] humans die regularly at all
ages, there is a statistical spike for musicians who die at 27."However, a study published in the British Medical Journal in December
2011 concluded that there was no increase in the risk of death for
musicians at the age of 27. Although the sampled musicians faced an
increased risk of death in their 20s and 30s, this was not limited to
the age of 27.
